SECTION 01 42 19

REFERENCE STANDARDS

PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 SECTION INCLUDESA. Description of requirements.B. Specification format and content explanation.C. Drawing symbols.D. Industry standards.E. Governing regulations/authorities.


A. This section specifies procedural and administrative requirements for compliance with governing regulations and codes and standards imposed upon the Work. These requirements include obtaining permits, licenses, inspections, releases and similar documentation, as well as payments, statements and similar requirements associated with regulations, codes and standards.1. The term "Regulations" is defined to include laws, statutes, ordinances and lawful orders issued by

governing authorities, as well as those rules, conventions and agreements within the construction industry which effectively control the performance of the Work regardless of whether they are lawfully imposed by governing authority or not.

B. Governing Regulations: Refer to General and Supplementary Conditions for requirements related to compliance with governing regulations.

1.3 SPECIFICATION FORMAT AND CONTENT EXPLANATION

A. General: This article is provided to help the user of these specifications more readily understand the format, language, implied requirements and similar conventions of content. None of the following explanations shall be interpreted to modify the substance of contract requirements.1. Production Methods: Portions of these specifications have been produced by editing master

specifications and the standard specifications covenants applicable to construction; they may contain minor deviations from traditional writing formats. Such deviations are a natural result of this production technique, and no other meaning shall be implied.

B. Specification Format: These specifications are organized based upon the Construction Specifications Institute's 48-Division format. The organization of these specifications into Divisions, Sections or Trade Headings conforms generally to recognized industry practice.

C. Specification Content: This project specification has been produced employing certain conventions in the use of language as well as conventions regarding the intended meaning of certain terms, words, and phrases when used in particular situations or circumstances. These conventions are explained as follows:1. In certain circumstances, language used in specifications and other contract documents is of the

abbreviated type. Implied words and meanings will be appropriately interpreted. Singular words will be interpreted as plural and plural words will be interpreted as singular where applicable and where the full context of the contract documents so indicates.

2. Imperative Language is used generally in the specifications. Requirements expressed imperatively are to be performed by the Contractor. At certain locations in the text, for clarity, contrasting subjective language is used to describe responsibilities which must be fulfilled indirectly by the Contractor, or by others when so noted.

D. Methods of Specifying: Techniques or methods of specifying requirements vary throughout the text. The method used for specifying one element of the Work has no bearing on requirements for another element of the Work.



E. Assignment of Specialists: In certain circumstances, the specification requires or implies that specific elements of the Work are to be assigned to specialists who must be engaged to perform that element of the Work. Such assignments are special requirements over which the Contractor has no choice or option. They are intended to establish which party or entity involved in a specific element of the Work is considered as being sufficiently experienced in the indicated construction processes or operations to be recognized as "expert" in those processes or operations. Nevertheless, the ultimate responsibility for fulfilling all contract requirements remains with the Contractor.1. These requirements should not be interpreted to conflict with the enforcement of building codes and

similar regulations governing the Work. They are also not intended to interfere with local trade union jurisdictional settlements and similar conventions.

F. Trades: The use of certain titles such as "carpentry" in the specification, is not intended to imply that the Work must be performed by accredited or unionized individuals of a corresponding generic name, such as "carpenter". It also is not intended to imply that the requirements specified apply exclusively to tradespersons of that corresponding generic name.

1.4 DRAWING SYMBOLS

A. General: Except as otherwise indicated, graphic symbols used on the drawings are those symbols recognized in the construction industry for purposes indicated. Where not otherwise noted, symbols are defined by "Architectural Graphic Standards", published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc., seventh edition.

1.5 INDUSTRY STANDARDS

A. Applicability of Standards: Except where more explicit or stringent requirements are written into the contract documents, applicable construction industry standards have the same force and effect as if bound into or copied directly into the contract documents. Such industry standards are made a part of the contract documents by reference. Individual specification sections indicate which codes and standards the Contractor must keep available at the project site for reference.1. Referenced standards (standards referenced directly in the contract documents) take precedence

over standards that are not referenced but generally recognized in the industry for applicability to the Work.

2. Unreferenced Standards: Except as otherwise limited by the contract documents, standards not referenced but recognized in the construction industry as having direct applicability will be enforced for performance of the Work. The decision as to whether an industry code or standard is applicable, or as to which of several standards are applicable, is the sole responsibility of the Engineer.

B. Publication Dates: Except as otherwise indicated, where compliance with an industry standard is required, comply with standard in effect as of date of contract documents.1. Updated Standards: At the request of the Engineer, Contractor or governing authority, submit a

change order proposal where an applicable industry code or standard has been revised and reissued after the date of the contract documents and before the performance of the Work affected. The Engineer will decide whether to issue a change order to proceed with the updated standard.

C. Conflicting Requirements: Where compliance with two or more standards is specified, and where these standards establish different or conflicting requirements for minimum quantities or quality levels, the most stringent requirement will be enforced, unless the contract documents specifically indicate otherwise. Refer requirements that are different, but apparently equal, and uncertainties as to which quality level is more stringent to the Engineer for a decision before proceeding.1. Minimum Quantities or Quality Levels: In every instance the quantity or quality level shown or

specified is intended to be the minimum to be provided or performed. Unless otherwise indicated, the actual Work may either comply exactly, within specified tolerances, with the minimum quantity or quality specified, or may exceed that minimum within reasonable limits. In complying with these requirements, the indicated numeric values are minimum or maximum values, as noted, or as appropriate for the context of the requirements. Refer instances of uncertainty to the Engineer for decision before proceeding.

D. Copies of Standards: The contract documents require that each entity performing work be experienced in that part of the Work being performed. Each entity is also required to be familiar with industry standards



applicable to that part of the Work. Copies of applicable standards are not bound with the contract documents.1. Where copies of standards are needed for proper performance of the Work, the Contractor is

required to obtain such copies directly from the publication source.2. Although copies of standards needed for enforcement of requirements may be required submittals,

the Engineer reserves the right to require the Contractor to submit additional copies as necessary for enforcement of requirements.

E. Abbreviations and Names: Trade association names and titles of general standards are frequently abbreviated. The following acronyms or abbreviations as referenced in contract documents are defined to mean the associated names. Both names and addresses are subject to change, and are believed to be, but are not assured to be, accurate and up-to-date as of date of contract documents:1. ANSI - American National Standards Institute, 1430 Broadway, New York, NY 10018, (212)

354-33002. ASTM - ASTM, 655 Fifteenth Street NW, Washington, DC 20005, (202) 639-40253. AWS - American Welding Society, P.O. Box 351040, 550 Le Jeune Road NW, Miami, FL 33135,

(305) 443-9353

F. Federal Government Agencies: Names and titles of federal government standard or specification producing agencies are frequently abbreviated. The following acronyms or abbreviations as referenced in the contract documents indicate names of standard or specification producing agencies of the federal government. Names and addresses are subject to change but are believed to be, but are not assured to be, accurate and up-to-date as of the date of the contract documents.1. EPA - Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M Street SW, Washington, DC 20460, (202) 829-35352. OSHA - Occupational Safety and Health Administration (U.S. Department of Labor), Government

Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402, (202) 783-3238

1.6 GOVERNING REGULATIONS/AUTHORITIES

A. General: The procedure followed has been to contact governing authorities where necessary to obtain information needed for the purpose of preparing contract documents; recognizing that such information may or may not be of significance in relation to the Contractor's responsibilities for performing the Work. Contact governing authorities directly for necessary information and decisions having a bearing on performance of the Work.
